Summary

Implements three improvements for v0.1.11.

1. Application Kit document order

• The kit toolbar gains a Document order select: Cover Letter → Resume (default) or Resume → Cover Letter.
• Both combined exports honour it:
  • PDF appends pages in the chosen order, keeping each document's own page size.
  • DOCX emits the two documents in order, with an explicit page break inside one section when geometry matches, or two nextPage Word sections when page sizes or margins differ.
• Preserves selectable PDF text, editable DOCX text, accents, formatting, and page breaks.
• The setting is session-only React state (ApplicationKitOrder in src/types/applicationKit.ts); it is not part of either document template and is never stored.
• Separate downloads are unchanged.

2. ATS Simple resume layout

• ResumeTemplate.layout now selects Professional Two-Column (default, unchanged) or ATS Simple.
• ATS Simple is one full-width column: every enabled section appears in the author's section order, ignoring section.column, with conventional uppercase headings, left-aligned text, real Word bullets, and no tables or positioned columns.
• The DOCX exporter checks Layout.variant and emits a linear paragraph flow (no <w:tbl>) for ATS Simple.
• All existing sections, formatting controls, page sizes, and all nine accents work. Column spacing is hidden for ATS Simple because it has no second column.
• Switching layouts preserves content; tests assert the word multiset is identical across templates.
• Normalization defaults missing or unknown layouts to twoColumn, so existing templates are unchanged.
• The UI states that no layout can guarantee compatibility with a specific applicant tracking system.

3. Typography and spacing

• Secondary text (contact lines, dates, locations) goes from 8.4 pt to 8.8 pt with leading at 1.38.
• Muted document ink darkens from #555555 to #4A4A4A (AAA contrast on white).
• Section separation increases to 12/16/22 pt before and 3.5/5/7 pt after.
• Experience entries begin 9 pt apart at balanced density, composing with the density multiplier.
• The rich sample resume stays on one page in the professional two-column layout.
• Preview, PDF, and DOCX still read the same resolveMetrics() values; tests compare PDF Tf sizes, DOCX half-points, DOCX twips, and layout metrics.

Test results

npm run format:check   ✓
npm run lint           ✓
npm run typecheck      ✓
npm run test           ✓  329 passed across 26 files (+50)
npm run build          ✓
coverage               95.15% statements / 97.08% lines (thresholds 80)

New regression coverage: tests/atsLayout.test.ts, tests/exportAts.test.ts, tests/applicationKitOrder.test.ts, tests/typography.test.ts, plus UI tests in tests/App.test.tsx.

Programmatic export tests cover text extraction (<w:t> and raw PDF streams), document and section ordering, page-break placement, Word section types, page sizes, accent colours, and typography parity across formats.

Documentation

README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, docs/formatting.md, docs/interface.md, and docs/deployment.md are updated. Version is 0.1.11.

Notes

• No document persistence was added; the kit order and layout follow the existing session-only model.
• No new runtime dependencies.
• Manual product QA (browser navigation, visual review, downloaded-file inspection) is intentionally left to the product owner.
